Electrical

Written by AJ Danboise Son Inc. on .

Many homes in Farmington Hills were built between the 1950s and 1980s, which means original wiring, undersized electrical panels, and the occasional fuse box are still common throughout the city. Add in mature trees and overhead lines that come down during Michigan storms, and it does not take much for a tripped breaker or a flickering light to turn into a bigger problem. A breaker that trips whenever you run the microwave and the dishwasher together, an outlet that feels warm, or lights that dim for no reason are usually early signs your home’s electrical setup needs attention before a small issue becomes a safety risk.

Signs Your Farmington Hills Home Needs Electrical Service

Electrical problems rarely announce themselves all at once. Instead, they show up as small annoyances that get worse the longer they go unaddressed, especially in older Farmington Hills homes with original wiring and panels.

Watch for these common warning signs:

  • Flickering or dimming lights: Often points to a loose connection or a panel struggling to keep up with demand.
  • Breakers that trip often: If you rely on power strips to avoid overloading circuits, your panel or wiring may not be able to keep up.
  • Warm outlets or switches: Can signal overloading, poor wiring, or a connection that needs prompt attention.
  • A burning smell near an outlet or panel: Should never be ignored and often means an unsafe electrical condition.
  • Frequent light bulb burnout: Can point to voltage issues that a professional inspection can identify.

If any of this sounds familiar, our team can help you find the real cause and fix it right the first time.

Electrical Panel Upgrades

Written by AJ Danboise Son Inc. on .

Many homes in Farmington Hills were built before today’s electronics, home offices, and kitchen appliances existed, and the electrical panel behind the scenes often has not kept pace. If your breakers trip every time you run the microwave and a hair dryer at once, or your panel still relies on fuses instead of breakers, your home may be working harder than it should just to keep the lights on. Left alone, an undersized or aging panel can mean nuisance shutoffs today and a real safety risk down the road.

Farmington Hills’ Trusted Panel Upgrade Team Since 1925

AJ Danboise Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electrical has served Farmington Hills and the surrounding Metro Detroit community for 100 years. We are BBB accredited with more than 2,400 Google reviews, and our team of 20 trained technicians handles panel upgrades safely and correctly, backed by upfront, flat-rate pricing. After this first mention, we will refer to ourselves as AJ Danboise for the rest of this page.

Signs Your Electrical Panel Needs an Upgrade

Your electrical panel is easy to ignore until something forces you to pay attention to it. Watch for these common signs that it may be time for an upgrade:

  • Your panel still uses fuses: Homes built before the 1960s often relied on fuse boxes, which must be fully replaced rather than simply flipped like a modern breaker.
  • Frequent tripped breakers: If you rely on power strips to avoid overloading circuits, your panel may not be able to keep up with your home’s electrical demand.
  • A panel under 200 amps: Many older panels were not built to handle today’s appliances, electronics, and devices.
  • Warm panels or a burning smell: These signs can point to overloading, loose connections, or wiring problems that need prompt attention.
  • Frequent appliance upgrades: New, higher-capacity appliances can demand more power than an outdated panel can safely provide.

If any of this sounds familiar, it is worth having one of our electricians take a look before a small issue becomes a bigger one.

A panel upgrade often pairs well with other electrical improvements. Many homeowners choose to add whole house surge protection at the same time, which helps guard the new panel and everything connected to it from power spikes.

When Is It Time To Replace An Electrical Service Panel?

While most electrical panels are designed to last a pretty long time—anywhere from 25 to 40 years—your electrical panel might require upgrades before its useful lifespan has run out. Though it can seem like an unnecessary expense, replacing an old, outdated, or malfunctioning electrical panel can ultimately save you money, not to mention increase the safety of your home.

Wondering If It’s Time To Upgrade Your Electrical Panels? Ask Yourself The Following Questions:

  • Is your home older than 20 years old? Most homes built more than 20 or 30 years ago are not equipped with high-amp electrical panels that meet today’s electrical needs. If your service panel is less than 200 amps, it’s probably time to upgrade.
  • Does your home rely on a fuse box? Fuse boxes, though once practical, are now fairly outdated. Most homes built before the 1960s relied on fuses for electricity. Once these fuses burn out, they need to be replaced entirely, rather than simply flipped like a modern circuit breaker.
  • Do you have a lot of electrical appliances? Do they run at full capacity? If you’re using a lot of electricity but your appliances aren’t operating at peak performance, you might want to consider replacing your outdated electrical panel.
  • Does the panel feel warm to the touch? Does it have a bad smell? These signs can indicate potentially hazardous issues such as overloading, improper installation, defects, bad circuits, or poor wiring/connections. It’s best to have this checked out as soon as possible.
  • Do your circuits trip often? If you find yourself using a lot of power strips to avoid frequently tripping circuits, it could be a sign that your electrical panel is not up to date. It might be time to have it replaced.

Other signs that it’s time to replace your electrical panel include dim or flickering lights, which could indicate loose connections, or appliance upgrades, which could require more electrical capacity than your current panel can provide.

Electrical Outlets

Farmington Hills Outlet Services

The most common reasons electrical receptacles require replacement is repeated use, constant plugging-in and unplugging, and deterioration over the years. It’s important that when the time comes to replace an electrical outlet, you do so in a timely manner and have a qualified electrician replace old and damaged receptacles. At AJ Danboise Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electrical, we offer a full range of outlet services in Farmington Hills and the surrounding areas, including all of Wayne, Oakland, and Livingston Counties. Whether you need to replace a non-working outlet or you’re interested in installing USB charging outlets, our team is here to help! Schedule an appointment with a Farmington Hills electrical contractor from our team by calling (248) 574-4411.

Signs You Need to Replace an Outlet

If you’re wondering if it’s time to replace an outlet in your home, here are some signs that the time has come:

  • If the outlet has burn marks, or what looks like scorch marks above the outlet it’s time to replace the outlet
  • Make sure that when plugging cords into the outlet, the prongs fit snug. If the prongs are falling out of the outlet because of a weaker hold, it’s time to replace the outlet
  • When unplugging a cord from the outlet, if you see arching this is a sign it’s time to replace the outlet
  • If the outlet gets very warm when something is plugged into it, it’s a sign that the outlet needs to be replaced

Whether you’re interested in replacing outlets in your home because you have one of the symptoms listed above, or you simply want to update the look or function of your outlets, there are a number of different options available. One such option when replacing an outlet is having the choice of color and style. Our Farmington Hills electricians can accommodate a number of different color and style options.

USB Charging Outlet Installation

Another option many homeowners find very helpful is a new style of outlet that is one part tamper proof receptacle, and one part USB charger. In today’s world there never seems to be enough outlets to keep up with all of the high-tech equipment we need to charge each day. From smartphones to tablets and gaming consoles, couldn’t we all use an extra space for charging? If this sounds like your home, a USB charging receptacle might be just right for you.

Ceiling Fan Installation

Written by AJ Danboise Son Inc. on .

Ceiling fans are a popular and energy-efficient way to stay cool during summer months. By keeping the air in your room moving smoothly and effectively, you eliminate hot spots, keep cool air moving properly, and even enjoy the feeling of a nice breeze, which can make the temperature feel several degrees cooler without it actually being that cold. Plus, modern fans use only a tiny percentage of the energy that your heating and cooling system does, and that makes them one of the most energy-efficient ways to stay cool and comfortable. At AJ Danboise Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electrical, or Farmington Hills ceiling fan services team can install new fans throughout your home, including in bedrooms, living areas, and even outdoor spaces like your patio. When you’re looking to stay cool, our electricians can make it just a little bit easier by placing ceiling fans where you need them. We install any ceiling fan you have—from standard fans to models with advanced technology like remote control capability and smart home integration, as well as large-scale or decorative fans that suit your design and functionality goals. All of our installation or replacement services are done with you and your home in mind, and we’re respectful, clean, and cautious throughout the process to ensure you’re completely satisfied. Make sure your ceiling fans are professionally installed! Call AJ Danboise Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electrical at (248) 574-4411 today to schedule your ceiling fan installation in Farmington Hills!

What’s In a Ceiling Fan Installation?

Ceiling fan installations are more complex than your typical electrical device installation—there’s a lot more to them than simply running an electric line over to them and hooking it up. A ceiling fan can be operated by one or two switches (one for a light, the other for a fan), which means your connections need to be perfect to ensure smooth and safe operation.

Our ceiling fan installations include:

  • Determining the best location to install the fan
  • Tapping new electrical lines and running them over to the location of the fan
  • Connecting the new electrical line to the switch or switches which will be used to control the fan
  • Properly wiring the fan itself
  • Attaching and securing wire connections to the new fan
  • Properly securing the new fan
  • Testing the new fan and resolving any problems

Because installing a new ceiling fan can be a potentially dangerous operation involving high-voltage lines, it’s absolutely crucial that you make sure your fan is installed properly and to the latest in safety standards. While you’re more than welcome to buy whatever ceiling fan you’d like, we strongly recommend trusting your installation to one of our experienced technicians to ensure that it’s done right and that you and your family remain protected.

Contact AJ Danboise Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electrical now and leave your ceiling fan installation service to our electrical contractors in Farmington Hills!

What Causes Sudden Power Surges?

Electrical power surges occur more often than most people think; in fact, small, less harmful power surges happen quite frequently. Though a bit rarer, massive power surges can be incredibly damaging—both to your home and your wallet. Power surges occur whenever excess electricity makes its way into your home. Electricity can follow any wire, including cable and telephone lines, causing damage to your devices, outlets, and appliances and even possibly starting electrical fires.

There Are Many Possible Causes Of Power Surges, Including:

  • Lightning strikes
  • Overloaded circuits
  • Overloaded outlets
  • Damaged wires
  • Exposed wiring
  • Power outages

Appliances or devices that require a lot of power, such as air conditioners and refrigerators, can also cause spikes in electricity. Though it can be difficult to pinpoint the exact cause of any given power surge, the effects are obvious. Even minor power surges can lead to damaged electrical systems and devices over time.

Generator Installation

Michigan storms take the power out fast, and Farmington Hills is no exception, especially in neighborhoods with mature trees and overhead lines that come down in high wind or heavy snow. When the power goes out, your furnace, sump pump, refrigerator, and home office all go quiet at the same time, sometimes for hours. A few hours without power is an inconvenience, but a few days can mean spoiled food, a flooded basement, or a much colder home than you bargained for.

Standby Generator Installation You Can Count On

AJ Danboise Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electrical has served Farmington Hills and the surrounding Metro Detroit community for 100 years. Our team of 20 trained technicians installs standby generators that automatically detect a power failure and switch on, so your home’s essentials keep running without you having to lift a finger. After this first mention, we will refer to ourselves as AJ Danboise for the rest of this page.

We arrive in fully stocked trucks, in uniform, and wearing shoe covers, so we can handle most generator installations and repairs in a single visit.

Signs Your Home Needs a Backup Generator

Not sure if a standby generator is worth it? Consider how a power outage would actually affect your household.

  • You rely on a sump pump: A power outage during a storm is exactly when your sump pump is needed most, and that is exactly when it can fail without backup power.
  • You work from home: Losing internet, lighting, and your computer setup for hours or days can bring your workday to a halt.
  • You have a finished basement: Extended outages increase the risk of a failed sump pump leading to water damage.
  • You rely on medical equipment at home: Some medical devices need a dependable power source, making backup power a safety issue rather than a convenience.
  • You have lost food to a past outage: A generator keeps your refrigerator and freezer running so a multi-day outage does not mean an empty fridge.

If any of this sounds like your household, a standby generator can offer real peace of mind the next time the power goes out.

Generator Installation Options and Related Services

Every home has different power needs, and we take the time to help you find the right fit before we install anything.

Standby and Whole-Home Generator Options

Our technicians can help you determine the right size generator to run the parts of your home that matter most during an outage, and will confirm your electrical panel can support the new connection before installation day.

Generator Repair and Maintenance

Beyond installation, we also handle generator repair and maintenance to help keep your standby generator ready when you need it. We recommend annual maintenance visits to check fuel connections, batteries, and the automatic transfer switch so your generator performs reliably when a storm knocks out the power.

EV Charger Installation

Written by AJ Danboise Son Inc. on .

Home EV Charging in Farmington Hills has increased in popularity as more families become interested in the electric vehicle market. EV charging stations connect to your electric vehicle to recharge the battery. When an electric vehicle is fully charged, it can typically go between 100 and 500 miles on a single charge, depending on the vehicle and whether other fuel sources are involved. Installing a home station makes it much easier to maintain your vehicle while you’re sleeping or at your own convenience.

At AJ Danboise, our licensed electricians can provide advice on the installation and upkeep of EV charging stations.

Benefits of Home EV Charging

If you rely solely on public charging stations, you know how inconvenient it can be trying to locate a charger that’s free. There may be wait times and, in some cases, you may not be able to find a charger at all that’s available. A home charger eliminates that frustration and makes it possible to keep your car fully charged and ready to drive.

Most chargers are small and install conveniently on your garage or carport wall. You can also install them in your driveway for added convenience. Some run off the same outlet as your dryer or hot water heater, while others may require additional electrical work. Our licensed electricians and certified technicians can help you choose the best place for an installation and make sure the process goes as smooth as possible.

Home EV charging offers a variety of benefits.

  • Longer battery life
  • Faster charging times
  • Eliminate wait times at busy charging stations
  • Convenience
  • Increased property value
